What do Chef, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and Final Destination all have in common? According to us... they're comfort films — yes, even the one with all the outrageous death traps. In this episode, we kick things off by diving into what makes a film comforting: is it the cozy vibes, the familiar structure, or just knowing we're not the ones being haunted or hunted?Danny shares his feel-good favorites (Chef and Walter Mitty), while Gabe takes a sharp left turn into horror, leading us to a wild but strangely satisfying conclusion: all horror films are comfort films — for the survivors on the couch.Then, we shift gears and explore the new Netflix series The Four Seasons, a modern reimagining of the Alan Alda classic. We break down how the show updates the themes of marriage, midlife reinvention, and group dynamics for a 2025 audience. What happens when friendships outlast marriages, or when one new partner changes the balance of everything?From cozy cuisine to chaotic carnage to complex relationships — this episode has it all. Pull up a chair, pour some wine (or blood-red punch), and settle in with PopCultX.

This week Andrew and Ted discuss Netflix's series "The Four Seasons" starring Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Erika Henningsen. Originally a 1981 motion picture directed and starring Alan Alda this series follows three college friend couples as they navigate through middle age and marriage.

This Week, Down to Watch go from vacation home to vacation home to a galaxy far far away! Dan and Raul start the week's show talking rebellion and spycraft, all while bringing a gravitas to the land of lightsabers, with the return of Andor. Cassian Protagonist is mixing it up with the Empire again and while our hosts don't have a complete grasp of the Star Wars timeline, they definitely know the names of the actors involved! Next up, podcast favorites Steve Carrell and Tina Fey return in The Four Seasons, a miniseries remake of the Alan Alda original film about adult couples figuring it out in their middle age and beyond. While being more grounded than most Fey-produced sitcoms full of cartoonish buffoonery buoyed by sharp comedy, Seasons is more about the feelings you get as the passions dull but the days go on. These two shows are on opposite ends of the universe, genre-wise, but you can count on your intrepid hosts to brave the distance between them!

Alan Alda's The Four Seasons gets a modern glow-up with Steve Carell, Tina Fey and Colman Domingo on Netflix this week (40:53), plus Rian Johnson's Poker Face comes crashing back with its second season on Sky (51:04), and Malpractice returns with more embattled medics on ITV (1:00:05). Meanwhile, Kay manages to completely hijack the listener question with a stealthy soap query. It's okay to be disgusted.(Episode 335)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

They dive into that and all the other analytics in the report regarding Star Wars on Disney Plus.Streaming Wars – Alex, Bill, & Josh pick a streamer they think “won the month” based on new shows airing/upcoming shows announced etc. Josh and Alex both went with Disney Plus on thanks to their ability to dominate the nerd space with Andor, Daredevil: Born Again, and Doctor Who and the prestige TV space with Dying for Sex and The Handmaid's Tale.Meanwhile, Bill capes up for Max yet again, thanks to their continued success with hits White Lotus and The Pitt, their big new series The Last of Us and The Rehearsal, the NBA and NHL playoffs, and, once again, AEW.New Series Spotlight – This month they shine their spotlight on Netflix's The Four Seasons. This series stars Tina Fey, Will Forte, Coleman Domingo, Marco Calvani, Kerri Kenney, and Steve Carrell as three pairs of vacationing married couples across four vacations.

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 2, 2025. Summer movie season unofficially gets underway this week with the release of "Thunderbolts*" from Marvel/Disney.  If you like the characters or you just like Marvel movies, you'll probably enjoy this. Another movie, this time on Amazon Prime Video, is "Another Simple Favor" from Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and director Paul Feig.  Hint, this sequel to the crime comedy ‘A Simple Favor' is goofy fun. And on Netflix, there is a comedy series called "The Four Seasons" from Steve Carell, Tina Fey, and Colman Domingo that's a remake of an old Alan Alda movie, but highly enjoyable for the more (ahem) mature viewer. The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories surpassing nerdy with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premier movie entertainment company.

Tina Fey's The Four Seasons, a remake of Alan Alda's 1981 romantic comedy, follows three couples navigating love, resentment, and vacation logistics—one season at a time. Across four getaways, this updated version leans into sharper dialogue and busier modern lives, while still nodding to the original. In this podcast, we break down episode one, “Lake House,” which takes place in the spring. Along with comparisons, production notes, trivia, plot discussion, and character reads on the evolving dynamics between Kate, Jack, Claude, and Nick, we also land on our rating. Welcome to Today's Episode!

fWotD Episode 2897: Abyssinia, Henry Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 10 April 2025 is Abyssinia, Henry."Abyssinia, Henry" is the 72nd episode of the American television series M*A*S*H and the final episode of its third season. Written by Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell, it first aired on March 18, 1975. The episode is notable for its shocking ending, in which the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital's amiable commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (played by McLean Stevenson), receives an honorable discharge and leaves for home but, in the final scene, is reported to be killed by enemy fire. This ending prompted more than 1,000 letters to series producers Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart, and drew fire from both CBS and 20th Century Fox.The title of the episode refers to the 1920s–1930s slang use of "Abyssinia" for "goodbye". ("Abyssinia", pronounced , can be understood as "I'll be seeing you".)After the production of this episode, both Stevenson and Wayne Rogers, who played Captain Trapper John McIntyre, left the series to pursue other interests. While Stevenson's departure was announced prior to and written into "Abyssinia, Henry", Rogers unexpectedly left the series during the break between seasons, and so his character's departure takes place off-screen in the following episode, "Welcome to Korea", the first of the show's fourth season. These combined departures and their subsequent cast replacements also signaled the beginning of a shift in focus for the series as a whole, more centered on the character Hawkeye Pierce played by Alan Alda, and with stories and tone increasingly from the dramatic side of comedy drama.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:37 UTC on Thursday, 10 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Abyssinia, Henry on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Nicole.

Alan and Clear and Vivid's executive producer Graham Chedd chat about and play clips from some of the shows coming up in season 28. A major theme of the season is language –from babies picking up clues about  their mother's language while still in the womb, to male fruit flies singing courtship songs to female fruit flies, to a best-selling novelist second guessing some of the language she used in her best known novel.

On March 16, 1974, a sketch appeared on The Carol Burnett Show featuring Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence and Harvey Korman portraying a “normal” American family -- warts and all. This sketch, known as “The Family”, led by a then 25 year-old Vicki Lawrence playing a gray-haired 63 year-old ‘Mama', spawned 30 more sketches, a TV Movie (Eunice) and finally a spin-off series of its own (Mama's Family) which ran for 130 episodes over six seasons both on CBS and in syndication (1983-1990).In “The Family”, Carol Burnett played the melodramatic, ambitious, brow-beaten daughter of ‘Mama'. Mama, played by Vicki Lawrence, is an exaggeratedly mean-spirited and insult-spitting widow and mother of five children: three sons played by guest stars Roddy McDowell, Alan Alda and Tom Smothers -- and two daughters: Eunice & Ellen (played by Betty White). Eunice's husband Ed Higgins was played by Harvey Korman.How did one simple sketch take on such a huge life of its own, creating a sprawling TV empire that some are calling “The Mama-Verse”? Susan and Sharon put on their housecoats and curly gray wigs to find out!THE CONVERSATIONCarol Burnett's career started with a Broadway role starring as the lead in Once Upon a Mattress and then as a rising star on The Garry Moore Show.The Carol Burnett Show was hugely successful, running eleven seasons, garnering 70 Emmy nominations and winning 25.Carol Burnett was encouraged to “speak up for herself” by another TV comedy legend -- Lucille Ball.A fan letter from then 18 year-old Vicki Lawrence to Carol Burnett led to her actually being cast as a regular on the show!“HARVARD SCHOOL OF COMEDY”: Lawrence cites Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett as her show business mentors during the 11 years she spent on the show.ONE-HIT WONDER: Five years into her run on The Carol Burnett Show, Lawrence had a hit song, recording “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia”!In the TV movie Eunice, Mama suddenly only has three children instead of five -- what happened to the others? And why is one of them suddenly Ken Berry?Vicki Lawrence was nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of ‘Mama' in Eunice.The TV series Mama's Family was aired first as a prime-time network comedy and later as a nationally syndicated series. It originally ran for two years on CBS, was cancelled in 1984 -- and then revived TWO YEARS LATER in 1986 by Lorimar Syndication to run for additional 100 episodes!NAME SWITCH: The character Ken Berry played started out as “Phillip” in the TV-movie but then became “Vinton” in the TV series.The TV show introduced “Fran” played by future Golden Girl, Rue McClanahan -- playing Betty White's aunt!The TV show also introduced Vinton's children Buzz and Sonya played by “80's TV Ladies” alum, Eric Brown and actress Karin Argoud.Mama's neighbor, Naomi Oates, was played by “Another World” “The Nanny” and now “80s TV Ladies” alum, Dorothy Lyman!So join Susan and Sharon as they talk Lou Grant, social justice, Julie Andrews and the first Live Televised Cinderella musical, “Raytown, Missouri”, Kamala Harris, Matlock, driving your own story -- and “Miss Fireball of Inglewood”!AUDIO-OGRAPHYWatch The Carol Burnett Show and Mama's Family across many platforms.

In 2018, actor, author and science communicator Alan Alda spoke publicly about his diagnosis for Parkinson's Disease. Alda, who is best known for his role in “M*A*S*H,” “The Aviator,” and “The West Wing,” shifted his interests to science communication in his later years. He's written several books on the topic, and has an ongoing podcast, “Clear + Vivid.”As part of Science Friday's 33rd anniversary show, we're revisiting our listeners' favorite stories, including this one. Alda came on Science Friday in 2018 to talk about his life since his Parkinson's diagnosis, and how being an advocate for science changes his perspective on his condition. Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Once again we're proud to be associated with the historic name that has made cars fast for years and years, and their innovations continue forward (as always)! Visit https://www.holley.com and tell them we sent you! ======================================== Roadkill – Finale As you have heard already the rumors circulating the closing of Motor Trend Productions are all true. Unfortunately the shows housed and produced by Motor Trend are no more. This does include “Roadkill,” its flagship and genre changing show. It's a bi-product of being owned by a large conglomerate as well as being a niche of a niche of entertainment media. All episodes filmed not yet released will be aired over the winter of 2025/2025 but no further will be created. We discussed the news of it all and and some point we'll have Mike Finnegan our friend (and Kibbe and Finnegan show co-founder) on to chat about it. No matter what spin you put on it the reality of Roadkill both creating and changing the automotive space are complexly undeniable. David Frieburger and Mike Finnegan made a team that were the best of the best in automotive tom-foolery entertainment. We loved them too! David Freiburger has given a good explanation the situation along with what's next for the full band of Motor Trend characters (visit TheDrive.com for more on that). While none of us know whether Roadkill will ever return on a different platform, it does seem like the sun has set on it and this last piece of legacy automotive media is officially over. In the short term we know that everyone has moved on to YouTube (if they hadn't already) and we can continue to have them in our lives there! Thanks, boys. It was magical! ======================================== Thanksgiving Movie Review: "Tower Heist" K&F Movie Summary: Tower Heist is the automotive Thanksgiving movie classic you didn't know you were missing until now, especially if you're Corndog! This movie stars a MASSIVE cadre os actors including Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Casey Afflect, Tea Leoni, Mechael Pena, and Matthew Broderick. This is the tale of a group of not quite as cool as Oceans 11 people that get taken by a Ponzi scheme by Hawkeye from MASH. And then – to get their money back – they steal Steve McQueen's Ferrari from the top of Trump Tower during the Thanksgiving Parade, all using a handy roof crane. You will laugh, you will squirm, and you will probably be looking up during the Thanksgiving Day Parade from here on out…..so you don't get squished by a Ferrari made of gold. This movie is a forgotten gem that has everything going for it.  ======================================== Join up via Patreon at patreon.com/KFSHOW Kibbe, Corndog, and the Bern!

This week on Saturday Night Jive we're gearing up for the 2024 election by watching a political comedy from 1995.  Canadian Bacon is the only non-documentary directed by Michael Moore and it's a cold war satire about a fake conflict with our neighbors to the north.  It's fine.  It's the last movie released to feature John Candy's as he died the year before.  It's got Rhea Pearlman obsessed with a building that looks like a penis.  It's got Rip Torn yelling and grunting.  It's got a pretty fun cast also featuring Alan Alda and Kevin Pollak.  But most importantly it features cameos from two SNL alums in Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.  This is our last podcast before the 2024 election but due to an uploading issue it's being released a week later so enjoy that brief moment of time where we still had some hope.  You can also watch this episode on YouTube (search Saturday Night Jive Podcast and you should be able to find it) as we recorded this live to YouTube when we thought we'd never be able to post a new podcast episode.  Anyway, Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

How acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions.What's the key to experiencing deeper connection in our communication? According to Alan Alda, it starts with acceptance — of others and ourselves."Connecting, communicating, and clarity," Alda explains, "they're all based on hearing what the other person is really saying; letting the person be real; accepting them.” As an acclaimed actor, writer, director, and author of If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?, Alda has spent much of his career exploring how acceptance enables us to be our authentic selves, leading to better communication and truer connection. “There's nothing more engaging than the real you,” he says.Also the founder of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University, Alda strives to help scientists and health professionals communicate more effectively with the public. “Science can't do its work unless it gets funded. And it can't get funded if people don't understand what the scientists are trying to do,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Alda and host Matt Abrahams discuss how acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions, from complicated science conversations to everyday communication.Episode Reference Links:Alan AldaAlan's Book: If I Understood You, Would I have This Look on My Face? Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science Ep.82 It's Not About You: Why Effective Communicators Put Others First Ep.114 Communication Means Paying Attention: The Four Pillars of Active Listening Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Alan Alda, an actor and communication expert.(00:00:59) Motivation for CommunicationWhat led to Alan's passion for helping scientists communicate effectively.(00:02:59) Avoiding Communication PitfallsCommon communication mistakes and the importance of experiential learning.(00:05:15) The Role of Clarity and VividnessHow clear, vivid communication makes messages memorable.(00:06:22) Reflection in CommunicationReflecting on conversations to foster connection.(00:07:12) Connection in ConversationsThe role of early connection in communication.(00:08:27) Reframing Communication AnxietyReframing communication anxiety by focusing on connection.(00:10:07) Asking Meaningful QuestionsThe importance of genuine curiosity in asking good questions.(00:11:02) Matt's Communication JourneyMatt recalls a childhood experience that inspired his passion for communication.(00:12:49) The Art of StorytellingHow vividness and structure create engaging stories.(00:15:16) The Final Three QuestionsAlan shares an area of communication he is working on, a communicator he admires, and his recipe for successful communication.(00:17:23) Conclusion (00:00) - Introduction (01:57) - Motivation for Communication (03:57) - Avoiding Communication Pitfalls (06:13) - The Role of Clarity and Vividness (07:20) - Reflection in Communication (08:10) - Connection in Conversations (09:25) - Reframing Communication Anxiety (11:05) - Asking Meaningful Questions (12:00) - Matt's Communication Journey (13:47) - The Art of Storytelling (16:14) - The Final Three Questions (18:21) - Conclusion

Empathy is a useful tool that allows humans (and other species) to connect and form mutually beneficial bonds, but knowing how and when to be empathic is just as important as having empathy. Filmmaker Danfung Dennis, Bill Nye, and actor Alan Alda discuss the science of empathy and the ways that the ability can be cultivated and practiced to affect meaningful change, both on a personal and community level. But empathy is not a cure all. Paul Bloom explains the psychological differences between empathy and compassion, and how the former can "get in the way" of some of life's crucial relationships. ----------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: 0:00 Intro 0:30 Bill Nye on the evolution of empathy 1:15 Alan Alda's empathy exercise 4:52 Empathy in virtual reality 5:55 How empathy backfires 7:36 Empathy vs. compassion ​- Why are we empathetic? - It's something that we can foster and cultivate. - But if you sink into that feeling and get lost in it then it's no longer a tool. It's something that's working against you. - Empathy is exhausting. It is unpleasant. It is difficult. And it makes you withdraw. BILL NYE: Why are we empathetic? Just consider what a tribe would be like, a tribe of humans, would be like without empathy, without ability to feel what someone else is feeling, without ability to see it from another person's point of view. You probably wouldn't be a very successful tribe. You wouldn't take care of each other. You probably wouldn't divide up tasks. You do this and I'll do that. I know that's hard for you, I'll do this. Well, I'm good at this. I know you're good at that, so you do that and I'll do this. I mean, imagine a tribe without empathy. So my claim, which is extraordinary at first, is not only are size and shape determined by the process of evolution but so are our feelings, and empathy is part of that. Our ancestors without empathy were not as successful. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To celebrate Tread Perilously's 477th podcast, Erik and Justin finally watch an episode of M*A*S*H -- "That's Show Biz." When a performer on a USO tour comes down with appendicitis, she is airlifted to the 4077th and immediately falls for Hawkeye. Once the rest of her colleagues make it to the M*A*S*H unit, they decided to put on an impromptu show. But they soon learn the road to their next stop was bombed and they must spend a few extra days at the camp. Will personalities clash? Will Hawkeye wave off the advances of the young singer? And will Klinger have a future in comedy? Erik explains why he chose the second lowest rated episode of M*A*S*H on IMDb for its introduction into the rotation. Justin appreciates the presence of guest star Gwen Verdon while Erik finally admits he always had a thing for Gail Edwards. Alan Alda also proves to be swoon-worthy. David Ogden Stiers' proto-Fraser is examined. Harry Morgan might turn out to be the series regular MVP. The obsession with Columbo continues. The Raygun situation makes its way into the discussion.

This classic episode documents the tale or a rich girl in love with a poor farm boy, and an egotistical wealthy father that wants to stand between them. Why? Because rich people - are evil - especially in a comic TV series. (As a side note, the evil rich father is played by Alan Alda's father!) The Dukes help the girl out to marry her farm boy Fred, thanks to the Joe Dirt bridge, and in the process of it all end up killing Daisy's 74 Road Runner…which by this point's isn't actually a '74 Road Runner at all. It's replaced by a brand new product placement white Jeep Renegade named Dixie. This is a fantastic episode for stunts, shoddy hiding of car effects, sped up and slowed down car chase footage, and again - unrequited T&A. 9 Corndogs!

We don't usually have repeat guests on this podcast… except we're making an exception for the wonderful and wise Alan Alda. Alan Alda, of course, is an award-winning actor, writer, director, and podcast host. You probably know and love him as Hawkeye on M*A*S*H or Senator Arnie Vinick on The West Wing. He is endlessly curious on just about every topic—which makes him the perfect person to talk to about empathy, learning across differences (and disagreement), and how we might age into new hobbies and careers.  In this conversation, Alan and Kate discuss:   Tricks for staying curious as we age How to talk to someone you disagree with How Alan hopes to destigmatize Parkinson's Disease The difference between empathy and compassion and how to practice these important skills   Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here.

Another member of the M*A*S*H Royal Family pays a visit! Jeff & Ryan welcome Alan Alda's grandson, Jake Alda Coffey to MASH Matters. We discuss growing up with a famous grandfather and the moment he realized his grandpa was a big deal. Jake also talks about watching M*A*S*H for the first time, his favorite Alan Alda projects, future career goals, and the writing lesson he learned from his grandpa. Plus, Jeff learns about TikTok!     For show notes, episodes, recipes, bios, and more visit our website. Support the podcast on Patreon and buy merch at the MASH Matters store  

Alan and Executive Producer Graham Chedd chat about and play excerpts from Alan's conversations with some of the guests in the new season, beginning next week. Guests include computer scientist Fei-Fei Li; former CEO of Google Eric Schmidt; and actor Tom Hanks.
